According to reports in the Australian media, promoter Don King is making moves to land Kali Meehan (33-3, 27KOs) a title shot against WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev (23-0-1, 17KOs). Meehan is coming off an October sixth-round knockout of DaVrryl Williamson, which also took at Madison Square Garden.
King would like to place the fight on the undercard to the Roy Jones-Felix Trinidad pay-per-view on 1/19 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
King is not the only promoter making moves. As reported several days ago, promoter Frank Warren is attempting to secure a shot at Chagaev for Matt Skelton. Several days ago, Warren told UK media outlets that he was close to making Chagaev-Skelton.
